Not my cup of Tea

I had the opportunity to read Beyond Molasses Creek written by Nicole Seitz. The main character, Ally, 60 years old, overweight woman who has moved near Charleston, South Carolina to pick up the pieces her father left after his passing. Ally has walked away from a relationship with God, but eventually finds faith again, despite all odds.

I am going to be honest and say, I did not like this story, plot line or time line this took place. It took a long time to get into the story and then connect all the pieces. It was a disappointing read and unfortunately, I would not recommend this. It really disappointed me and did not meet my expectations. The author tried to captivate the reader, unfortunately, this story did not captivate me. I do not like to give negative reviews, but this book had some moral issues and things felt so random. I did not like the flow of this story. I am thankful the character developed a relationship with God, but I did not like the book.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com <http://BookSneeze®.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
